DISTRIBUTION

D/F MACHINE SPECIALTIES is a distributor-friendly organization, and would like to thank all of its MIG & TIG welding distributors for their help. D/F currently has no outside sales force of its own. D/F relies on distributors for product sales. D/F has a trained staff of inside sales representatives always readily available to help its distributors with anything they may need. D/F is always looking for new distribution. If you wish to become a new distributor, please contact us so that we can take the necessary steps to provide you with the correct tools to represent our products. When new or existing customers contact D/F directly, we always ask them if they have a preferred distributor to work with. Very often we already work with that distributor. If we do not, we always welcome new distribution and will be happy to work with a customer's preferred distributor.

D/F MACHINE SPECIALTIES provides distributor discounts on the basis that the distributor (a) sells the D/F torches and (b) uses genuine D/F tips and nozzles in the D/F torches. The distributor is expected to represent and back up the product. D/F torches are priced 50% below actual value on the basis that the distributor will sell genuine factory OEM consumables, and that the end user will be using these genuine factory OEM consumables. Upon recognition of the fact that a customer or distributor is not purchasing other than D/F factory OEM consumables, we will remove any established discount given to them, and the price of the torch will be re-evaluated. Further violation of these expectations will result in the removal of distribution. All warranties and repairs are voided by using aftermarket parts in D/F torches.

D/F MACHINE SPECIALTIES has a specific policy for all new torch installations. Each torch will come with a spare parts package. D/F must ensure that the torches are being run and maintained properly with factory OEM genuine D/F parts. This package is designed to keep the torches running for 3-6 months—even up to a year—and reduce damage to the torches, and remove weld quality issues due to using non-factory original D/F parts. These factors help keep the cost of the torches down. D/F prices the torches at a discount (50%) with the goal of building relationships by improving welding applications, and with the expectation that customers will use our factory OEM parts, both so that we have many years of business to enjoy together.

D/F MACHINE SPECIALTIES should be made aware of any aftermarket parts used by customers and distributors, who the aftermarket parts are being purchased from, and of the price of these aftermarket parts. Being the manufacturer of this custom specialty equipment, we should be allowed to match or beat the price of the tips, nozzles, etc. before we are forced to raise the price of the torches for loss of the consumable business.

Violation of Terms and Conditions
Distributors/customers who do not purchase or use D/F Machine Specialties factory OEM consumables will not only lose their established discounts, but besides purchasing the required spare parts package for all new torches, customers who do not use factory OEM consumables will see a 100% price increase on all D/F torches, torch bodies, and assemblies. Also, customers who do not use factory OEM consumables will be required to purchase 300 contact tips and 20 gas nozzles with the purchase of every new torch. D/F looks forward to building and maintaining long-term business relationships with customers and distributors. Please reevaluate your situation before you use non-OEM or aftermarket parts in D/F torches.

Specialty equipment includes Tandem Torches, "BIG MIG" Torches, "BIG TIG" Torches, ID Bore Torches, and the spare parts and consumables used in these various specialty torches. Specialty equipment requires a 2-3 week delivery upon receipt of a purchase order. This is due to the fact that there are a large amount of varying requirements for each welding application, and the specialty equipment is hand made for each individual applications, hence the "Specialties" in the company name. It is highly recommended that customers or suppliers also purchase backup equipment to avoid a 2-3 week period of downtime.
